This graphs shows how full (in percentage terms) Nepean Dam has been since November 2001.
In particular, for the last month or so...
This graph shows the net inflow (inflow minus usage) for Nepean Dam since November 2001.
and a little more smooth...
We also have these graphs as percentages of the capacity of Nepean Dam ... to get some idea of just how volatile the

To put the size of this dam in perspective, we give the history of the Nepeandam level as a percentage of the full sydney dam system:
